NEW Leadership Wisconsin Program

National Education for Women (NEW) Leadership™ Wisconsin is a non-partisan program for college women designed to address the under-representation of women in politics at the local, regional, state and national levels.

NEW Leadership's goal is to educate, empower and encourage more women to take on public leadership roles at all levels, up to and including elective office. We aim to prepare a new generation of women leaders with vision and courage, ready to participate effectively in the decision-making arenas of politics and business and to improve the lives of women, men and children in their communities and beyond.

The heart of NEW Leadership™ Wisconsin is an intensive, six-day residential summer institute held in June on the campus of Mount Mary College in Milwaukee. Here students learn from and interact with women involved in politics and policymaking, and work with educators and experts in the fields of leadership, history, politics, diversity, social issues and more.
